Oops, I've been lazy of late and have been letting the newly-resurrected LoudTwitter doing all of my updating for me.
Not too much to report, really. Work has been pretty crazy and as usual has been the major source of frustration for me lately. The boss is currently still on vacation; he left before last week and returns this Wednesday, so he'll have only been gone for like 1.5 weeks, but I had to cover a trial for him during that (unexpectedly no less) and had a few other small things to mind, which added to my already busy schedule. Add to that the fact that Christine, my assistant, was gone on vacation all last week too and things are backed up, oops. We've been busy, and she's been tied up almost constantly with real estate which means she can't be helping with lists of documents and other things I need to get done, ugh. It's frustrating; we have (when all are healthy and not on vacation, anyway) six legal assistants, yet I only get one to do work for me. And if Christine's too busy I can't rely on anyone else for help, not with bigger things or anything more than a quick hand with something, which is very frustrating. Yeah, the boss has more clients and does more work overall than I do, but I do a nice chunk too and certainly should have more than 1/6th of the total resources there. It's frustrating and we'll definitely be having a talk when he gets back, see if we can figure things out, because it's at its worse now with real estate being so busy.
It'll be ok, though, getting back on track I think, which is good because I'm leaving to visit my wife in less than two weeks now, omg. :D We're planning on visiting Washington D.C. for part of the trip, I think, and the next time I hit the city I'm going to look up some books on tourist-y things to do there and places to stay, attractions to see, etc. Should be fun! :D
